Daf Yomi Bava Basra Daf 90 by R’ Eli Stefansky

[Music] Good morning Rabbi boys. [Music] Welcome. Welcome to all the guests. Saving lives and never forgetting the daf and so and Reb Avraham Friedman. Two of the quorum in the Hebrew night share. The famous Joel The author has been with the share for a bunch of years, maybe four or five. I don't know how long. Healthy baby boy, mazel tov. Mom is great. Jay. This we have two. He's also Reb Mordcha. He comes to the Hebrew share. We don't have to play the whole video. That's the seder. This uh Gershy Rose that he had a so way to be melamed zchus on the airplanes have cost milva. It's not that I was melamed zchus not the very Okay, I think I said it already. I I told you about the El Al meeting the guy had with the brochures. I think I said it. Did I not say it? I said it in Hebrew. I said it in Hebrew. I thought I said it in English. It's all one mish. Basically, the discussion was does the suitcase cost when you put extra pounds in the suitcase and you cheat the airline, you don't you know, you lift the the the baggage. Does the airline have a loss or not? It's not even the shaila really because the airline said this is our rules. Okay. But anyway, somebody that was here in the Hebrew share said that he had a a meeting with El Al. And he wanted to put these brochures in there like these you know, you could buy stuff and it would he'd he'd split the profits with El Al. So El Al came back to him and said they did a little bit of a calculation. If they put a pamphlet like that in every seat times all the seats, times all the flights, it'll cost them 20 million shekel a year in fuel. So every suitcase costs money. I don't know how much. Every pound costs them money. Maybe it's a pruta, maybe it's five prutas, but you can't you can't tell it's anyways flying. There's no such thing. It's 2:50 a.m. Almost 3:00. Motzei Shabbos. I wanted to update you that I was zocheh that my oldest son Mordechai may he live engaged on Friday. We just came home from Lakewood to to Monsey from the chaim. Remind myself I didn't do the daf yet. Midda gishmak geiten learn, he says. We go learning with the gishmak. One of the first things I did asking the new mechutan if he would start MDYing. Thanks for addicting me. Hershy Weinberger. Can't wait for the Shabbaton. Rabbi Dovid Bachayev doing the daf with Reb on a flight to San Diego. Also noticed that the person next to him was learning something. I don't know what. Here is a safer here. What does it say over there? I don't know what it says. No, no, no. He's safer in his hand. He has a safer in his hand. Uh [Music] Oh. He's saying this person saying that he he heard on channel 14 in Hebrew Yinomagal and one of the people on the panel, Yididya Meir, was talking about the share and therefore here this is Yididya Meir. He's he's he's on TV. And he spoke about the daf and that's how this guy got connected to the daf a few mesechtas ago. So you should call Yididya Meir. So here's a very interesting thing that Yisroel Sholitzky sent in. He says that I mentioned the famous Noide Beihuda. So he says that the Divrei Chaim of Tsanz follows the Noide Beihuda. And the minhag in Tsanz is not to say the shem yichud. So Bobov and Tsanz don't say the shem yichud. But here's the kicker. He said a very interesting thing. He says that Satmar they say the shem yichud, but on the yahrtzeit of the Noide Beihuda they don't say it in his honor. I got I have to find out if that's true. He says as I say, I believe him. Yisroel Sholitzky is a great guy. All the best to you and your family. He's a nachas kallah tov. Um and then Dr. Mayer Wikler. So I don't remember what Does anybody remember what happened to I think he was on a bike. He had a bike accident or something because unless I'm confusing two things. Yisroel Goldstein he just came out with a video. The famous Yisroel Goldstein, our our cat photographer. He was on his He bikes from B&H in Manhattan to to Borough Park. Back and forth. And he hit a pothole not realizing it and he fell off his bike. And he got 14 stitches right here. He has a black and blue eye. And the doctor said if not the helmet, he would have died. Because the helmet is cracked in half. So now Dr. Mayer Wikler, I remember wishing him a refuah shleima. Nobody remembers what happened over there. I sent you the following email last week as you were just winding up your hakaras hatov tour through Eastern Europe. You may have missed this so I'm sending it again. Reb Eli, firstly, let me thank you for mentioning my accident last month for all the tfilos and good wishes. Maybe the oilam over the age of 40 should stop riding bikes. What do you say? My refuah shleima. Secondly, I'm grateful to be able to report that while I still have a way to go, I've already come a very long way and baruch Hashem now continuing my rehabilitation at home. Baruch Hashem, refuah shleima. Finally, not that you need my endorsement, but I've successfully followed your advice for whenever one falls behind. More specifically, I fell more than three weeks behind during my hospitalization. When I came home, I did the current day's daf. And then, time permitting, I did one or two dafim I missed. I'm delighted to report that as of today I'm fully caught up and on track to finish shas with be'ezras Hashem. Your devoted tonsin soita, Dr. Mayer Wikler. So as we're approaching Rosh Hashanah that's a little bit of a trap. It's a little bit of a shalom aleichem. He's still here. Wow. Nebach. Entaki. What's worse? The shver entaki. What's going on here? Shem you have I love you, man. Shalom aleichem. How are you? Taki, I love you, too. Your Mormon shvacha and the father-in-law. So I have no idea what I was saying. Yeah. Anyways, the three-day yom tov is where a lot of people fall. And that's why we need to prepare before we go into the three-day yom tov. And if chas v'shalom you fall and you don't do the dafim during yom tov it's not the end of the world. But the trick is not to try to make it up. You just do that day's daf like Dr. Mayer Wikler did. And later on, time permitting, and you always have time afterwards. But if you try to make it up, that's where the yetzer hara jumps in and kicks you off the bandwagon. All of a sudden you owe four dafim, then it's six dafim, and then you just give up. The kolel of the month sponsored by Binyamin Rosenfeld for hatzlacha in business. The mesechta sponsored for the safe and speedy return of all the hostages, the parnasah chodesh l'iluy nishmas Chaya bas Moishe. L'iluy nishmas Chaya bas Yoisef. He's the oilam on Zoom. I have to mention that we're having a lot of tzaros from the those resha'im arurim. Not only do they send missiles, but they also come in our Zoom and they wreak havoc. They try to ruin it for us. They don't want Torah and they do all sorts of things and it's very difficult. They they they copy the names and they copy and paste. They pretend that they're from people and they come in and then they do all sorts of things. So we might have to change the format. The you know, sometimes some some shiurim have like you get a code sent to your email and things like that, but it's becoming very, very troublesome for for Dave who's there night and day cuz Gary's in America now. He's there today. He mamesh has to fight with them, shut it down, turn it back on. There's children on on Zoom. We have to be super careful. Bekitzer. Parnasah Chodesh. Myself, Dr. Moishe Twersky Dovid and Abe Rennert for the refuah shleima and safe speedy return of our chayalim. Parnasah Chodesh matching Reb Eli's donation l'zechus the chayalim for the month. Parnasah Chodesh. Binyamin Rosenfeld for all the zchusim that come from supporting limud haTorah. Hakadosh Baruch Hu should find him a zivug hagun b'karov. He's very, very young. He's only 22 years old and he's sponsoring the kolel of the month and the parnasah chodesh and Hakadosh Baruch Hu should send him a shidduch hagun b'karov. Mark Horowitz. A big shout out to the oilam Moishe Rabbi Teichman. Rocky, his daughter just got married. Sebastian Ben and the whole Pixville crew. Warm thank you to all the people here that have welcomed me. I've spent a month here volunteering l'maan achai. Blessing on State of Israel. Bring home the hostages. Parnasah Chodesh for the art. For zchus Reb Eli and the whole of Bnei Yisrael to continue to make Torah so enjoyable for so many. Reb boys, I we're holding four lines from the bottom. Hanya nami chochei. Daf peh tes. Omer Rebbi Yishmael. So we have a little bit of a sugya that's actually super easy. But a lot of times when we learn these type of sugyos in yeshiva we checked out. Why? Cuz as soon as you hear the word lug and a sav hin. Hin is what does it? Hin did it for you. Sav did it for me. Reb Yishmael hin did it for you. And you check out. Some people didn't get to daf tzadik. Actually never did it, so we're good. For those of you at trauma, we're going to reverse it. In fact, on daf base starts agaddata for day or so. And I just want to welcome. We have a guest from Austria. Where do you make aliyah from? Vienna. What's your name? Remind me. Shnayor Tzion. Shnayor? Tzion. Is there an English way to say that name? Tzion. It's like Israeli. You have a little roots there. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Shnayor Tzion. He's I don't know how to say it, a chocolatier. He He makes these fancy, you know, from Vienna. And he made aliyah just recently. How long ago? A few weeks ago. Another one who made aliyah. It's unbelievable. Most of the Most of the people in the room are aliyah people from the last month. The voice I So, here's a little bit of video to start the sugya, just to get you in the mood. You should realize it's not that complicated. It's actually very simple math. Panevezy math, the whole sugya. A half and a quarter. Three kilos of flour, please. No problem. Uh no, no, sir. One second. Here we go. Okay. [Music] Thank you. That's the sugya. You got it. Now you got it. So, it's okay. I I love bathroom humor. That's the sugya right here. You didn't have? It's Okay, so we'll learn it again. A yasha mido I You say person is not allowed to keep a a measuring cup in his house, whether it's a little bit more than usual, a little under the usual. If it says a gallon, but it's really 10% less than a gallon or 10% more than a liter, whatever it is. It's awesome. Even if it's a toilet bowl, it's awesome. The sugya is This guy I just showed you before this is This guy doesn't look normal to you? He's one of the most normal people ever. Is that a mido? Yeah, but it is That's obviously a mido. No, no, no, no. It was. It used to be. It used to be. It used to be. Yeah, exactly. It's not a a is. This used to be a measuring cup and now they use it at home. They didn't have toilets in those days. That is the The sugya is the Torah says you're not allowed to have uh a mido that's wrong in your house. Says Rav and the Gemara brings it now as a as a braysa that it's ossur to keep uh inaccurate mido in your house, even if it's disgusting that people use it as a bathroom. Because then you'll never use You'll never measure with it. This is one guy That is the sugya. I will always so saw the tarkav. Okay, so now this is very, very simple. And the Gemara just goes like this. We don't really have to know all these things, but what could you keep in your house? That if it was in English or I don't know how they have it, but I would tell you you're allowed to keep a gallon, a half a gallon, a liter, a half a liter, quarter liter. So, that That's all it says over here. I will always so saw one measurement called a saw. Here we have um Here, let's just jump to this. Saw. A saw is six kab or 144 eggs. Okay, that you got? We don't have to remember any of this. Tarkav. A tarkav is half of that. As we'll see, it's usually each each measuring device is half of the other almost every time. So, the first measure the most is 144 eggs and half of that is 72 eggs, half of that 36 eggs, 24 eggs, 12 eggs, six eggs, three eggs, one and a half. Okay? On the bottom there's a little bit of a problem over there, 1.2. So, you have a tarkav. Tarkav is made out of two words. Tar is tray, which means two. Kab is one. Together, 2 + 1 equals even in Panevezy we knew this, three. So, tarkav tray kab three. Half of three is how much? One and a half. So, the next one is one and a half. Then it jumps to one. It's not a half of one and a half. Kab. Okay, that's a full kab. Yeah, chotzi kab, reva kab. Okay. I will always so who saw. In other words, you're not allowed to have something that's has seven seven kabinet or 150 eggs. It has to be exactly 144 eggs. Anything more or less than that is ossur to be in your house. Until you get to the next year, which is a tarkav, which is half of that, 72 eggs. 75 eggs, ossur. Tarkav, bechotzi tarkav, bechav, bechotzi kab, a half of a kab, berova, a a quarter of a kab, which is something we're going to discuss soon, the rova kab. The timen. What's a timen, which is the eighth of a kab, which is three eggs. Bechotzi timen, half of that, which is a 16th of a kab, which is one and a half eggs. The uchla, which is not half of that, which is 1/20th of a kab. It's a fifth of that, fifth less, 1.2 eggs, a fifth less. Bichami uchla, how much is a uchla? Echad michamisha beriva. If we go up where it says rova a kab, four lines from the bottom in the chart, rova a kab is six eggs. A uchla is how much? 1.2 eggs. 5 * 1.2 = 6. So, a fifth of a rova a kab is a uchla. 1/5, one piece of a rova a kab, if you divide a kab into five pieces, five pieces of 1.2, you have a uchla. So, it says the Gemara Echad michamisha beriva. It's 1/5 of the quarter of the kab, rova a kab. That's it. Yoshi went to He worked hard to do this. I'm not exactly sure why. Okay, to make it a little bit more familiar with us. A kor is two If you want to know out today's today's measurements. How much is a kor? 248 liters of Coke. Efa is 24 liters of Coke. Saw is 8.3. A kab A kab Okay, this is interesting to know that a kab is 1.38 liters. We're talking about kab, six kab. We started today with six kab, a saw, six kab. Look. Here I have a chart. This is the famous chart that could help people that want to remember, that are good at this stuff. Kas yegoydu. So, the way it works is the kuf stands for kor, the aleph stands for efa, etc., etc. Kor, efa, saw, kab, lug, beitza. So, kor Sorry. 10 efa is a kor. A kor is made out of 10 efa. A efa, you go down. A kor is made out of 10 efa and a efa is made out of three saw. And a saw is six kab and a kab is four lug and a lug is six eggs. Okay, that's That's how people like Rebbi Dovid Kremer remember this stuff. So, when you ask him, "Lug?" He goes, "Kas yegoydu. Yeah, yegoydu, of course. The dalet and the lamed." Okay, I don't know what you're talking about, but okay. Huh? He doesn't have to do that, right? Correct. But when he wants to be an onan, he goes, "What do you mean? Kas yegoydu." Yeah, okay. I'm sure there's people out there that memorize this even today and make a chart out of it and It It's caffeine levels. Caffeine. Oh, it's caffeine levels. I got I got it. Oh, that You're talking about this one. Okay, I got it. Zog the Gemara. Now we're holding a very simple stuff. Uvemidas halach. Now we do the same thing. It has to be that Here, let's just take a quick look at this major chart and you'll see it's not important again. This is not important to the sugya. But you could see very easily if you go from the eggs and you go left, the liquids are in purple and the dry goods are in green. You'll see a lot of the green and the purple are actually the same measurements. For a tarkav, which is three kab, is the same thing as a hin, which equals 72 eggs. You go down, rova a kab is the same thing as a lug, which is six eggs. Okay? A lot of the midas hayavesh are equal to the lach. If If you're We We have the famous pasuk that we read on Yom Tov, viniskaya. Viniskaya, chotziya, shlishiya, I have it over here. Actually, I did it here. I forgot it. It's good thing I put it in. Viniskaya, viniskaya, chotziya, shlishiya, reva. here we have chotziya, shlishiya, reva in one pasuk. Those are all for the korbanos. Anyway, So, we go back now to the midas halach. Here's midas halach. Uh who is a hin? Hin is 12 lug. Then you have half of that, chotzi a hin, which is six lug. Shlishis a hin, which is half of that, which is four No, shlishis a hin is a is a is a third of a hin, which is four lug. Revis a hin is three lug. The log This is so small that the Archival says it's a quarter of an ounce. That's the sheer. Okay. So now if we go back over here let's go over here. Take a look at the top. We have a se'ah which is six kav. We have a tar kav, which is half of that, three kav. We have a chatzi tar kav. The Gemara asks that we're missing a measurement over here. If we have and we have one, we have one, one and a half, three and six. The Archival says we're missing the two. Where's the two? In fact, the Gemara's question is really that we have something similar in the liquid. So why don't we have something similar similar like that in the dry? And it also kind of makes sense in terms of how we go. We have a quarter, we have a half, we have one. So it should be really two. The next step should be two. One and a half is kind of off over there. It should be Yeah, if we start from Revi'a kav, a quarter of a kav double that is a half a kav, double that is a is one, double that should be two. Then it should be four, eight, I don't know. But where did the one and a half come in here? But the Gemara says it should be two. Also, to to make it similar to the to the hin. We have a we have a sheer that's just like that in the hin, the two kav the the two kav. So here as the Gemara, let's see it on the chart how it works. You have se'ah, tar kav. As the Gemara, where is it? I'm sorry. Not here. Maybe over here. Okay, let's see. Over here. [Music] As the Gemara, stick that in over there. It should be another sheer called kavayim, two kav. Says the Gemara No, we can't do that. Why? Eleven am I kavayim? There should be a sheer called two kav. You have one kav, you have three kav, so you have there should be two kav. Also, let's have a lufei betar kav. Check this out, says the Gemara. People might make a mistake between two and three. It's too close to three. Uh you have to have more distance. Says the Gemara, why? It's only a third more. So that means people make a mistake in a third. If you have anything that's within a third, that's problematic. No, so the Gemara's question is what about No, so uh This is a third more. Says the Gemara, chatzi chatzi is also a third away. From one to one and a half, the half is a third of what is is a third more. Just like from two to three is a third more, so one and a half one to one and a half is a third more. Amutoi inchei tilta. People make a mistake in a third. Yochai kav nami leleven. So if people make a mistake in a third, so you shouldn't have a kav next to a chatzi tar kav. Says the Gemara, dasi lach luvei bechatzi tar kav. People will confuse it with the one and a half. One and one and a half can be confused. Says the Gemara, you're right. People don't make a mistake about a third. What do they make a mistake in? A quarter. In 25%, not in 30%, 33%. That's not. Elokai bayom an otam diliavei, why don't we make a sheer called kavayim, which is two kav? Das lachuvei bechatzi tar kav. What's a chatzi tar kav here? Chatzi tar kav, kavayim, chatzi tar kav is the mistake. From two to one and a half or one and a half to two, that's only 25% difference. The 25% difference, people make a mistake. The clee looks very similar in size. They grab the wrong one by mistake. Not a 33% mis- mistake, a 25% mistake. Amutoi inchei riva. Yeah, so far very easy, no? It's only going to get easier. So people make a mistake in 25%. Yochai chatzi to'imin be'ochla leleven. Now let's go all the way to the bottom of the chart. What's the bottom of the chart? A 1/16 of a kav and a 1/20 of a kav. That Raboy says less than 25%. What is it? It's a fifth. It's 20% It's 20%, not 25%. Yeah? How many 20s are there? Or I should say how many fours are there in 20? Huh? No. Why? It's only four. Between 16 and 20 is only four. That's less than 25%. The difference between a chatzi to'imin and an ochla is less than 25%. It's a fifth. As the Gemara, so why do we have a chatzi to'imin and an ochla? People are going to get confused. Says the Gemara, Omar Raboy milis tanis bekiyuv inchei. When it's very very small, those little spoons that the women cook with or even men, where's Eitan? Not here. Those little That people are not going to confuse because it's so small, you got to be really careful so people don't confuse a half a teaspoon with a teaspoon. That people don't make a mistake. Milis tanis bekiyuv inchei. As the Gemara, shlishi se'in, revi'a se'in lo leleven. That The difference between a shlishi se'in and a revi'a se'in is how much? A quarter, 25%. From three quarters to from from two from a third to a quarter is is a is a is less than a revi'a, it should it should be not allowed. We shouldn't have those two measurements. Says the Gemara, keyvan hava mikdash legazur Rabbonan, since it was in the Beis Hamikdash there's no gezaira. Says the Gemara, Raboy shnami leizur, why not? People Adam will be confused. Kehanim rezim ai, not a problem. Kehanim are careful. Rezim in this case means not that they're fast, they're very careful. They don't confuse things up in Beis Hamikdash, they're very careful how they do perform the avodah. They're not going to be confused. So again, the possuk, just to show the possuk A larger animal requires a chatzi ahein lapar, par, ushlishi se'in la'ayil, the ram, which is a bigger sheep. Urevi'a se'in lakaves, the small kaves gets a revi'a. The large par gets a chatzi. Bekitzur, but the Kehanim familiar with chatzi and shlishi se'in, revi'a se'in. Omar Shmuel. New sugia, Raboy. Okay, so we're done with that. Was that bad? Traumatic? Shkoyach now. Omar Shmuel. Easy. Omar Shmuel, what? Omar Shmuel, leima nisfima amida she'eisa mishos. If everybody gets together and decides together that we're going to change the way things are. I'll give you an example. Here in Eretz Yisrael, when you go to the store, it happens all the time. Here you go, check this out on the screen. Actually, there's a better one than this. Hold on. You did it much nicer. Oh, here. Here. This This product on the all the way on the left contains 190 g compared to 200 g. This Bamba is is 10 g less than it used to be 70. Literally, you open up a potato chip bag today, instead of having eight chips in there, there's only six. And it says in the bag. You know what? I'm not exaggerating. It's the same bag. What? Pesach ones, the the the Chanukah ones. Look at this guy, this Click. It's 65 instead of 75. Is that mutar to do? That's what They're getting together, the whole city getting together. We want We want to purchase we want the kilo to be one and a half kilo. From now on, when we go to the store, we want the price to remain the same. We want the guy to make a bigger spoon. When he goes like this to the pitzei cheem, he's not going to take out a kilo, he's going to take out a kilo and a half. He's going to give me for the same price. Everybody comes together. You allowed to do that or not? Or for carrots or the or the seller, he's going to take off the shnayim da'as if it's the same thing. Instead of selling a kilo, we're going to make a smaller spoon. We're going to take out three quarters of a kilo, three quarters of a pound instead of a pound. You allowed or not? What? Yeah, but you're changing things. Okay, so do you know what the difference is? People that are not familiar, they come from out of town. Guys from Jerusalem are going to come here to buy the pitzei cheem. They used to the spoon being like this in Jerusalem. And over here they come and they In Beis Shemesh, we have a different spoon. They didn't know. They have no clue. You You sit there and look at the spoon every time? Say, give me give me one of those. And he charges the same amount. That's the The problem is for merchants that come from other cities. Omar Shmuel, ein mosifin al amida she'eisa mishos. Maybe that's one of the issues. Let's see what it is. You cannot add more than a sixth. Velo al amadbeia yosef mishos. Here in Eretz Yisrael, we're very familiar. In America, not so much, but they took they they they took whatever they had back then, that groat or whatever it is, they made it this, they made a new shekel out of a shekel. They they just I'll Everybody had the same issue. I'll tell you something that happened to me. You all You all know what I'm talking about. When I moved to Eretz Yisrael 11 years ago I used to fly business class to America for 25,000 points each way. 25,000 What did United do? Instead of saying, "Oh, you don't have a million miles, Eli. You only have a half a million miles." They were much smarter. "No, you have a million miles, but in order to fly one way, it's 100,000 points. We can decide whatever we want." They literally went up, their price jumped. You remember this? I I just found something, 25,000 points for business. Now, at least 100, 100. So they they devalued your points. So that's what you do to to madbeia. We have all these these coins, coins. Devalue it. Now it's worth half the amount. Could you do half the mouth? No. You could do a 1/6. United was over in this Gamara. They devalue by 50% minimum. Exactly. Oh. By Mr. Acker. How you stack your yoison mishstos? And when you want to make profit, this doesn't work today. But everybody making profit, you have a store? You increase the the price by a sixth. That's it. You buy for a certain amount, you increase it by a sixth. Today, I you know, I'm sure they increase it by what? 50%? Whatever it is, they Not not a sixth in By Mr. Acker, you stack your yoison mishstos. Not yours, are you? Anyway, see if you do a mishstos. My time off? So, the first a lot that we learned, you know how to add to the spoon to the whatever it is more than a sixth. He lay mishma tarro because you're you're increasing you're causing inflation. You're ruining the market. So, then even a sixth not. I don't know what you're talking about. I have a problem with you now. You were cheated by a sixth. And when you cheated by a sixth according to the bomb, it cancels the entire sale. According to other we always mention is according to other you just have to give back the sixth doesn't cancel the sale. The problem is you have hundreds of buyers, of consumers who their deal is not a deal. You have to go back and pay everybody back. You took more than a sixth or a sixth exactly more than a sixth is bottle mega. Exactly sixth. Go to buy a bottle. Do they have a bottle mega? The heavy bottle mega shouldn't be a bottle mega. So, that's why we said don't increase it by six cuz if you increase by six, now you have a major problem. All the people that bought stuff by you it's not a real sale. As the Gamara, listen to this. The major a lot that we need to know. Let me ask you a question. If I sell you something by weight like this picture right over here and there's one less Mike and Ike in this in this box. Is the Is that a no or not a no? A no is a sixth. If on the side and the the the left side the coffee there's two beans less than g. Is it a no? It's not a sixth. It's way less than a sixth. So, the mega should be a good mega. The answer is the mega is bottle Why? Cuz when I announce that it's 190 g, then it's 190 g. Anything less than 190 g bottle of the mega. There's no a lot of a no when it comes to weight. And when it comes to size, and let's say I sell you an amount, I sell you 12 eggs in a in a tray and it only has 11 eggs. 11 one out of 12 is not 60% is not a sixth. It's bottle Why? Because there's a number to it. Not a weight, there's a number. So, as Rava we're talking about weight over here. So, once I I I change the weight, it should be bottle right away. Forget about a sixth. Not a sixth, it's bottle. What Rava? The Gamara asked not Rava asking. The Gamara brings Rava. Anything that has to do with size, the weight, a number an amount It's a mega toss. That's what we call mega toss. It goes back. So, that cannot be the reason why the merchants in the city cannot get together and decide on their own that they're going to make the weight a little a different weight. It's it's it's a it's it's a mega toss where everybody knows. A lot of heavy say to the tomorrow. These merchants that come from out of town they need to earn. How much does a person earn? We just said. How much does a person typically earn? A sixth. You're not allowed to earn more than a sixth it says in the Gamara. Right? By Mr. Acker, you stack your yoison mishstos. This guy travels from who knows where with all his stuff. He's buying and selling and he doesn't realize that in this city they changed the the measure and he's going to lose his sixth. Why? Because if you So, up to up to a sixth you're allowed to change the measurement up to a sixth. Why? Cuz this guy never wants to make a sixth. So, if you're going to change the measurement that I miss sixth, so at least he's not going to lose. He's going to break even. As the Gamara say to the heavy, Rava What the guy doesn't need to make a a little profit? Or you going to want to make it make break even? Zaven Zaven All he does is buys and sells and he goes back and forth. Tiger agree. What Why is he doing all this work? So, people should say in the city, "Wow, what a great businessman. He's unbelievable. He saw how much he has and he sold and he did and he comes home with zero." Uh I couldn't I couldn't think of a great example besides our Shabbat tongue. So, if the Shabbat tongue last year was to make money which it wasn't So, let's say we're trying to make money. We're trying to earn a little bit. We only lost six figures. But I'm not going to say a little bit more than a sixth in the six figure range. This year not so much. Yossi said that people are um the selling too. But I have to tell you it's unbelievable. It's usually just a few people from the whole minyan. If 20,000 people. One guy called us and says, "Listen, I have these three vendors. Call them up." He called them up and each vendor gave 5,000, 10,000. But one person sent them three vendors. It didn't He didn't have to make a phone call. No no business for that guy. He just gave Yossi Klein information. So, anybody that has vendors pharmaceuticals, these big people that that have money to give to my business and we'll put their name out but you just have to step forward. Just be that guy. Mr. Anonymous from Lakewood gave us names. These people that that care. Okay. Anyways, we'll just say when we have the right amount. Yossi says I'm not I'm not putting it He's not going online until we have the until we're ready to go. So, he wants to get a certain amount of sponsors. This year this year we're doing it right. We learned from our mistakes. And it's going to be a Shabbos. Anyway. So, if you have a good my son, I'm ready to hear of tiger tiger people. But you just walked in. You don't even know what we're talking about. Yeah, but what were we talking about? I need a my son to stop my master. My son tiger tiger tiger agree. A guy was doing business business. He's buying and selling. He bought real estate, sold real estate. At the end of the day he got he had zero to show for it. It's a it's a it's a lot of the famous lot of the Gamara. So, come on. This guy and and the explains even more. This guy came from who knows where. He traveled from China to sell his stuff. What? So, the the fuel didn't cost him? His time is not anything? What's he Let's he even broke even. He lost money if he broke even. What about all his time and the and the fuel and the sandwiches and the this and the that? So, why does this? So, the Gamara my the small crush You know what? Forget our logic. Forget the virus. We have a possum. Very very simple possum. Last check a gator. We're talking about We all know that a mana. What's a mana? A mana A mana in the Gamara. How much is a mana? 100. So, I check it. The mana of the is a check a gator. A gator. The the says gator comes from this from boxer. How do you say boxer in English? Carob. That there's a there's a pit in the in the boxer that's supposedly is very accurate. In other words, all the pits weigh the same. The seed. And they used to weigh with this. 20 of these. That's what the says. Some other men. So, it says like this in the possum. do the math together. plus 25 is how much my boy say? 45 plus 15 is how much? 60. So, 60 check it. Each check it is four dinner. 60 times or four times 60 is how much? 240. In part of which we used to do like this. Two times 60. Uh that we didn't know. So, we do two times six is 12 and then we add a zero. So, two times six is or two times 60 is 120. And two times 120 is 240. That's how we get That's how we did it. Okay. So, we have 60. We just added up. 25 plus 20 plus 15 equals 60. We even did it math for part of which we go. 20 plus 25 plus 15 equals 60 times four equals 240. The problem that we have is How do we get the 240? A mana is 100. How do you get the 240? We know a mana is 100. Not 240. So, step number one is you got to chop the 240 in half. Now, chop it in half. It's a different share. It's a the share of the Torah check it. This is 120. But we have a problem. It's 100 not 120. So, what do you see from this possum? That the possum time of the possum they added. They added to the 100. Instead of being 100, they did 120. How much What's of 120? A sixth. They went from 100 to 120. That's a sixth. But that's only a sixth in American math. Not in Gamara math. Because that's the total. When you have then 20 is a sixth of 120. That's about. But sometimes you do the math, a sixth of a hundred is 16.6. So it would be a little bit over be 1 16.6. But the fact that we're saying that it's 120 teaches us that the math that the Gamara does in the time of the Gamara when you take the total and then you divide it by six. You don't take what you have and Okay, so let's see inside. Daf tzadik gimmel base. Mona masa bar bar by model. So comes out that we're at 240. Why? Cuz we did the math, 60 * 4 dinner equals 240. So El shmaneh no, class. You learn from here three things. Shmaneh no monashe kodesh kava layer. First of all, 240 is really 120. You have to divide that, let's put that back over here. You have to divide the 240 in half because it's double, so it's we're at 120. But 120 is also problematic. Why? Because it's supposed to be a mona is a hundred, not 120. Ushmaneh no mosifim al amidos um mosifim yois amistos. You're allowed to add but the the max is a sixth. Now what kind of sixth is it? Shmaneh no shishim labar. So if you want to see how how Yoshie did it and Kobe stayed up till still up now. To you want to know you want to change it a little bit. Shish shishim labar. If you take a hundred and you divide it by five, you get 2020. But if you add one more on the outside, milbar means on the outside. Now you have a hundred and twenty. So the sixth is on the outside. We're We're talking about a hundred and it became 120, the 20 is on the outside. Shish shishim legav would be that the sixth is within the hundred. So 16.6. So if I Yeah? It's within the hundred. Or here's another way to look at it. Shishim labar, this Kobe did you divide it by five and you add it to the top, you have five plus you got on top. Okay. Fine. So the bottom line is we learned that when you change the measurements, you can't change it more than a sixth. How do we know it from a possuk? The possuk tells us 60, which is 240, which is a half is 120, and 120 is a sixth more than a hundred and that's all you could do. That's all you're allowed to add. Sponsored. Sponsored by Yaakov Citron, who's sitting almost in the seat over there. What's that tzadik's name next to you by the wall? I forgot his name. He's a He's a very big addition to our shiur. He's been in for a few months already. Yaakov Itzkowitz. Yaakov Itzkowitz. Shalom aleichem Yaakov Itzkowitz. I I I hope to remember your name. Very chashuve individual. Yeah? Zos the Gamara. Rav Papa bar Shmuel takin kayola bar tlasa kipizi. Okay, now mamish easy. Rav Papa he instituted a new measurement called We'll see in a second, I don't know what it's called, but it's three kipizi. Kipizi is three log. So this is a total of nine log. This is nine log. Bar tlasa kipizi. Sorry. Each kipizi is three. This bar tlasa kipizi is nine log. Yeah? Nine a nine log measurement. Or lev, so you went from three to nine. Times three, 300% increase. Yes, is that how you do it? Nine something like that. Or lev v'amar Shmuel d'mosifim al amidos d'yois amistos. W- How do you jump from three to nine? You're allowed to add a sixth. Not hundreds of percent. What? Why? What do you mean something else? Yeah. Time out. Could you go from one kipizi to two kipizi? It's more than a shish. He went to three kipizi. Or lev. I know kayli chah, maybe this is what you're trying to say. I know kayli chah d'takiri. I I jumped so much, it's a whole it's in it's whole different atmosphere. It's not It's not within the the measuring. It's not So now you have a a half a teaspoon, a teaspoon that comes in the same set. Here this is the set that you measure stuff for your for your cake. And there's something you measure for trucks, I don't know what. This is a a shovel that that for a tractor. What's the shichus? This is a different thing. This is a a nine a nine log thing. Sh- Shazvei Pumbedisa, so they they tried to send this logic to Pumbedisa like a blue, they said no no no. Doesn't work. You can't add You can't add more than a shish. Shazvei le Papunya le Papunya like a blue and they said yes. It's good. Ukorei lei Rosh Papa, so they had it its own name so it's not to be confused with anything else. It was called after Rav Papa, Rosh Papa. I thought that but I I didn't want to say anything. Send like cuz you mean cuz they accepted what he said? They accepted his stuff? Maybe maybe his name Papunya after that. Siman oitzer peiros ein oitzer emes. These are the simanim to remember all this. Emes d'takar emes d'takar b'main b'veitzim matirin v'lo matirin. Tarva. So here's a guy that though. Oitzer peiros umalvei b'ribis. People that hoard fruit. In other words, I'm going to see it throughout the sugya. What it means is there's a moshel, a guy a true story in China. The guy wanted to make a lot of money. There was an area that all they ate there was corn. He went and bought up all the corn from all the wholesalers, everything. And then he he wouldn't sell it. And then when he sold it, and they were very very poor, you know, they are in China, they a lot of these areas are extremely, you know, there's a lot of poverty. So then he he hiked up the prices. And what happened was many many people, I don't remember the amount, many people died. They couldn't afford it. They just died. They didn't have corn. Boof. That's what this guy did. Oitzer peiros. It's specifically to buy up produce and then charge more. If you are a farmer and you want to hold your stuff and bring it into introduce it to the market at a later date and charge more, that's that's okay. But if you're not a farmer, you're just a businessman, you're an entrepreneur, and you go to all the farmers and you you gather all their produce and then you hike up the price, that's awesome. Oitzer peiros umalvei b'ribis. And those who says from the shamayim the F-16s that we hear overhead the entire shiur should have hatzlacha, come back. Umalvei b'ribis. I hope they get that guy that's the zoom bomber. That's also very important. Umalvei b'ribis. Umakhtinei eifa. Those people those people who lend with ribis. Umakhtinei eifa. Those who take measurements and and make them smaller. Umaskiei sha'arim and those who play around with the markets and the pricing. Aleihem achas v'eimer, there's a very very strong possuk. Says in the possuk, we have to see the possuk right before. Possuk dalet in Amos. Shimus ois asher ya'afim evyon. D'lajbiz aniy aretz. Leimar masa ya'av achodesh. These people say to themselves, I can't wait until next month. V'nashbir o'shever v'ashabis v'niftoch chabor. We're going to sell our stuff next month. So those people are terrible. Again, these are people are buying up in order to sell later, not the farmers themselves. Masa ya'av achodesh v'nashbir o'shever will be mafkia d'sha'arim will break the market d'ashabis v'niftoch chabor and we'll do we'll keep the fruit by us, we'll hoard the fruit. These are the fruit hoarders. Lahaktinei eifa. Ulhagdeiha. Lahaktinei eifa are the people that make the measurements smaller. Ulhagdei shekel. These are the people that take ribis. Ulhavei smoznei mirma and these are the people that break that that change the the weights. Uksiv, what does it say about that? Nishba Hashem b'goon Yaakov Hakadosh Baruch Hu swore im eshkach lonetzach, I'll never forget forever kol ma'aseihem old their deeds. Oitzer peiros k'goon man. Who's a good example of oitzer peiros? Or like a good example Shabsai Oitzer Peiros. This is a guy Shabsai, he used to and collect fruit and then sell it later for a higher price to the poor people. In you maseches Yoma it says that there was a woman who was pregnant and she wanted to eat on Yom Kippur. So they told her, "Hey, it's Yom Kippur, you're not allowed to eat." Talking about that, wasn't b'koach nefesh, not you know, the last week or whatever that people are you know, where a woman has to fast. But she said, "I'm I'm pregnant." And she ate. So the Gamara says, we know that she's going to have a son of Rosh cuz of what she did. And who came out? This guy. Shabsai Oitzer Peiros. Avoda Shmuel mizaben l'peiros b'tara charfa. K'tara charfa. So if I if I told you these two stories, you probably would guess wrong. But because I'm asking you the question, you're going to guess right cuz you know that I'm I'm going to ask you the thing. Who's the bigger tzadik? Shmuel or Shmuel's father? Shmuel's father would sell fruit in the early season of the fruit. Fruit meaning usually means wheat, something that could hold a long time. K'tara charfa. He charged the normal price for the normal market in the early market. The early market when wheat is really really cheap, he charged a really really cheap price. Did he do anything great? Doesn't seem like something so great. But what he didn't do is he didn't hold on to his wheat and sell it for more money later on. What did his son do? Shmuel bar Rei mashie d'peiros. Shmuel his son would leave his wheat for a long time. Umizaben the father and he would sell it later on the season when there was no weed in the market for the cheap price. So who is the bigger tzaddik? He held out his weed sold it for cheap in a very high market. He'd sell it for cheap. So that's well, that's what the is saying basically something like you. Huh? But that's not what the is saying. The is saying I hear you saying. He's but he's hurting all the businessmen but he's he's helping that name. Okay. So they said I guess from Israel. The father did better. When the market is low and you add to that and you keep the market low so then the market stays low. It's very hard for the market to go up while you're flooding it with merchandise. So he helped the market stay low. Yes, the son the son he tried to help out the market when the market was high but he's not going to change the market. That's the point. One individual one farmer is not going to change the market. The market is high. Okay, so he did a favor to a bunch of poor people that bought his his produce but he didn't change the market. The father helped the market change. I'm a rab. I saw them as and that's what we learned in this past that you're allowed to keep you're the farmer you're allowed to keep your stuff and jack up the price later on with your own stuff if you didn't buy from the from the market. I know how you You know what some pairs you're not allowed to hoard fruit from things that are staples. Could go wine. Who can't live without wine especially in the time of the as explained this many times that you know the the water people would drink even today. You go on a on a hike and you drink water you could die from it. You know who knows what kind of parasites are in the water. You have to heat it up. In the time of the they couldn't drink the water so they would add the alcohol into the water to kill whatever parasites. It was a very people drink a lot of wine then. Even the water had to be with wine. Shmonim oils and the the flower that you're not allowed to these are the things you're not allowed to take advantage of. If you spices cumin cumin I don't care. Just take as much as you want. I don't care the price. Or pepper motor. If you have real estate and you have certain people that use cumin oil the whole hallway smells like cumin. It's not your vibe. If you if you purchase in order to jack up the prices then it's Who's that guy that that that did something to the to the English currency? Wasn't there a guy that bought up the whole currency or something? Who was it? Oh, that's how George Soros made it. Was it England? Yeah. How many years that's a long time ago. That's how he made his money. He bought up the currency. One game shut up. Maybe he wants to give something to I'm not going to take his money. Not taking his money. And you're allowed to No. You're allowed to hoard fruit meaning what does it mean even to buy it from the market which typically you're not allowed to. In this case to help the people you're allowed to for three years. Anyways this fruit so you're buying and you're giving a little bit then. And for which you're not allowed to plant you definitely need produce. Again you're not allowed to plant whatever you plant in a month of it's going to take months for it to grow. So you need to for that to help then he asked a good question yesterday supposed to rely on him. He said I'll give you double don't worry. So maybe that's exactly what he means. I don't know. And when there's famine a few Oh, and this goes even your own stuff you're not allowed to hoard. Before he said even to go and buy from the market you're allowed to to help people and we're now saying your own stuff you're not allowed to hoard for a minute why you cause panic in the marketplace. Two more lines. told his his shamus Go out and get me fruit for three years. He says cuz he held that the is well the Israel had forever and the and all the fruit for three years have a wonderful day.
